Why Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects & Creative Cloud Eats Your C: Drive

Premiere Pro generates uncompressed 32-bit float audio (.cfa) and waveform (.pek) files for every imported video clip and keeps them on your boot SSD long after client projects are exported.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will deleting Adobe Media Cache Files break my Premiere Pro project?
No. Project timelines (.prproj) and raw video files are stored separately. If you re-open an older project, Premiere Pro simply regenerates the waveform peaks for the clips on that timeline.
Can I clean Adobe Creative Cloud installer cache without signing out?
Yes. SWEEPR Cleaner purges orphaned RIBS/HDPackage installer archives and logs while keeping your Adobe licensing and Creative Cloud login token intact.
